Me too...

Just found this particularly detailed account of the good Rev Edersheim's life, which states
"Because of his health condition he eventually moved to Menton, France where he passed away March 16th, 1889."

Menton was certainly possible for a well-heeled English man seeking a healthy climate.

Thankfully the article also states

"The Rev. Alfred Edersheim was married to Mary Broomfield around 1846. They had seven children as follows; Stephanie Christina born December 16, 1848, Mary Matilda born October 5, 1851, Julia Augusta born November 12, 1854, Marcia Louisa born December 23, 1856, Alfred Edersheim Jr. born in 1858, Elise Williamina born May 12,1860 and Madeleine Anna born July 17, 1861."

and

"Alfred Edersheim Jr. was achieved his BA at Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1882 and MA in 1890. He was created deacon in 1882 and priest in 1884 in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. He was Curate of Huntley in Gloucestershire between 1882 and 1886; of Culford, County Suffolk 1886 to 1887; of Far Headingly, Leeds 1887-1889 and of Kegworth, Leicestershire, 1889-1890, before becoming Rector of Blaisdon, Gloucestershire in 1890. The Rev. Alfred Edersheim Jr. supposedly immigrated to New Zealand around 1896"

The above was written by a Stewart Edersheim, perhaps being deliberately vague at times in respect of Alfred Senior's good works...

You don't have access to the Shipping records or Census' for New Zealand by any chance, please ??
From LDS I've found Alfred Jr born Mackay Scotland 1858 in the 1871 Census(Hants school) and 1881 (Cambridge Univ), but nowt afterwards.
